unevenly and will not last as long as the manufacturer intended. Furthermore, as the misaligned wheel ‘scrubs’ across the road surface, its

In the search for such ongoing efficiency improvements, many operators recognise the important role that tyres and tyre management plays. Not only is proper tyre servicing and care important from a safety perspective, but the impact on costs also can be significant. Tyres that are not correctly aligned will wear
rolling resistance is increased leading to higher fuel consumption. Indeed, independent tests carried out by two major global tyre and truck manufacturers found that the regular use of wheel alignment systems could help fleets reduce their fuel bills by as much as two and half percent.
Despite these recognised benefits of regular wheel alignment, many operators have been guilty of overlooking and ignoring the potential savings due to the time needed to measure a truck’s alignment. Times in excess of 30 minutes to make wheel alignment measurements are not
